About 5 weeks ago I experienced serotonin syndrome (ssri combo) although only a mild version of it, and I still can't believe how sensitive my brain is yo anything that increases serotonin.
Since then I've taken 12,5mg Hydroxyzine and got a worsening of symptoms within 15 mins, which lasted for days even though I'm on bcaa and a low tryptophan diet. About a week ago I took a few bites of millet to see how I tolerated it and had to stop when I felt the toxicity starting to build up (that time I didn't take any bcaa).
About 5 days ago I added hydrolysed collagen to my diet to get enough protein, I started very slow and on the 5th day I took a full dose and noticed my symptoms getting worse, and it turns out sucralose increases serotonin, so now I can't eat that either.
I've ordered unflavored hydrolysed collagen from the states and that should work at least but it won't arrive before 3-4 weeks.
I'm afraid I might be permanently damaged and the doctors don't do anything to help. I've never read of such extreme sensitivity to serotonin, hence why I fear this might be permanent.
My symptoms are not that severe thankfully or else I dunno what I'd do. Am I screwed? Thank you for reading.
